It was learned et Hongkong, have for tified tworef their most important reacoaat Cities against anticipated sea and air attacks by Chiang's forces. Announcing that he planned immediately to take personal charge cf ths government's military drive fgainst Reds and bandits in Kiangsl and Hunan provinces, Chiang de iicrlbed this as "the worst menace now threatening China." He referred only in veiled terms tJ the crisis in Southern China merely warning his soldiers that he desired them torefraln from par ticipating in civil wars "such as re actionary elements repeatedly seek to Instigate." PROMISES RETIREMENT The Nationalist generalissimo de nied reports he planned to resign as the result of attacks against his administration by the southern In surgents. He declared If he were successful in crushing Hunan and Kiangsl bandits he would retire to his birthplace near Ningpo, "thereby proving to the world and nation (hat I have no ambition to establish a dictatorship nor an other dynasty as charged by my, reactionary enemies. "And I will end this brigand rule In the Yangtse valley or die in the attempt." Chiang asserted.

Meanwhile, leaders of the Kwangtung Insurrection mined the harbor of Swatow and the Canton against expected government attacks. Steps also were taken to defend the two cities against antici pated air raids. Rebel chiefs apparently saw be hind President Chiang's talk active preparations for war, suggesting that Kiangsl and Hunan provinces, which the Nationalist chief described as the seat of the bandit menace, might be the mobilization point of government troops, affording easy access to Kwangtung province and eventually to Canton, CANTON REBELLIONS Chinese sentiment at Hongkong and Canton was described as overwhelmingly against Chiang and his government. Newly recruited troops of Kwangsl province, together, w-tyh the "Ironside" troops of General Chang Fal-Kwal, have offered to capture Hankow, a Nationalist stronghold, within three weeks, thus adding much revenue to the sadly depleted Conttuj coffers. leaders are biding their time, however, awaiting some move by Marshals Feng Yu-Hsiang and Yen Hsi-Shan, both supporters of the anti-government movement.

Discovery of seven sticks of dynamite attached to 20 feet of fuse, planted under a concrete flume which carries a major portion of San Francisco's water supply through Nlles can yon. led today to an Investigation by the sheriff's office.

In addition to the 20-foot sec tion of fuse, a cojl of 100 feet, neatlv tied, was found beside the explosives, and several more pieces of fuse, each cut Into small lengths, lay In the cache. The severed sections were evi dently Intended as a guide In de-tcrminlne the time required to burn the 20-foot section, investigators believe. A- small garter snake which eluded child pursuers, by taking refuge among the dynamite sticks, brought about the discovery of what officers declare was an apparent attempt to cripple the main water artery to San Francisco. The snake, chased by three children, members of a Sunday hiking party, sought safety beneath a wide board, which had been laid against the base of the flume. When the bonrd was removed the snake was found colled among the dynamite and fuse.

According to Wallace Ebrlght, eastbay superintendent for the-San Francisco water department, the explosive must have been placed beneath the flume several ago as the paper In which the sticks were wrapped was bleached from exposure. The fuse bore evidence of having been water soaked, but it was still In serviceable condition. The dynamite was in perfect condition. That the explosive had been placed beneath the flume for the purpose of blowing It up seemed probable as within a few feet of where it wns. found was a hollow tree, a cave and deeply creviced rocks, any one of which would have offered a better hiding place if the dynamite had been stolen and an attempt made- to hide it, according to Deputy Sheriff Hugo Rndbruck.

The charge was removed by Radbruck and an attempt Is being made by the sheriff's office today trace It through the serial number on the sticks. YahNhnHit Ohio Ouster NEW HAVEN.
